Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 sprig fresh thyme, bruised
¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt
2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
¼ teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped Italian parsley leaves
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed orange juice

Steps:

  • Stir together orange juice, thyme and Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt in a shallow dish until salt is dissolved. Place salmon into the marinade and coat on each side. Arrange pieces skin side up in the dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Citrus Herbed Butter: Combine butter, Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt, orange zest, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and orange juice in a bowl. Mix well to form a spreadable paste. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Remove salmon from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange fillets skin side down on baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil to coat.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Broil fish until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes.
  • Place fillets on serving plates. Top fish with 1 teaspoon of Citrus Herbed Butter and a generous pinch of Diamond Crystal® Coarse Sea Salt. Serve immediately.

This dish was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salmon turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The salmon was cooked well, though.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal that was also delicious. I used tilapia instead of salmon and it turned out great. The citrus and herb flavors were subtle but still noticeable.
